Epic Budget, Massive Fail

Rating: 3/10 (13 October 2013)

I've seen all of the recent slue of similar movies, Battle: Los Angeles, Cloverfield, Transformers etc. and they were acceptable - probably not worth the price of the popcorn, but there was substance to their plots and the big screen helped with the CG action/explosion wow-factor.
But Pacific Rim? ... with a vapidly shallow plot I stopped caring what the outcome was after about 5 minutes and while the 3D wasn't bad there was something missing, I guess if you throw millions of dollars at people who don't care you still get something that looks like they don't care.
It's a poor attempt at a Robot Jox of this decade, "blockbuster" kitsch to the max with no hope of a cult following or any revival.
If I were 5 I would've given it at most 7/10.
